  • Improvement of the precision measurement methods to characterize our radiation fields
  • Measurement of interaction data of neutrons with matter (cross sections)
    • cross sections for neutron activation (energy range 6 to 15 MeV)
    • cross sections for neutron scattering (energy range 6 to 15 MeV)
  • Operation of an ion microbeam (protons, deuterons and α-particles) for radiobiological research and other applications
  • Operation of a water calorimeter for neutrons and high-energy ions
  • Neutron metrology in high-energy neutron fields
  • Neutron spectrometry
    • time-of-flight spectrometry (with ionization chamber and scintillation detectors)
    • spectrometry with proportional counters
    • spectrometry with liquid scintillation detectors
  • Investigations into the biological effect of neutrons, protons and &alpah;-particles
    (irradiaiton of biological samples and of single cells with the ion microbeam)
  • Investigation of the energy deposition of ionizing radiaiton (W-values for ions in gases)
